Chapter 13: The New School

"Wake up" I suddenly did, after my brother, Kyle yelled and pushed towards the car door. "Where am i" that was the only word I could say. "inside a pool" Kyle joked.

"I just picked you up from the hospital 30 minutes ago and you were still asleep, Kyle preferred it that way,  until.... " Mom explained as Kyle cuts in.

"Until you started moving left and right like you were been attack or something" Kyle over stated. We drove into our front porch and packed beside the garage, it was obvious that they were both lazy to open the garage door.

But I was wrong, Kyle got down from the car and opened it and his car was packed in there has he stood and admired it. Brian rushed to meet me, which was unlike him.

He dragged me inside where I met dad but that was not why, he kept on dragging me till the dinning wall. He looked stressed, sweating and breathing helplessly.

"It's gone, the diary I found down in the basement is gone" I could not understand a word he was talking about.  "someone must have took it or hidden it somewhere"  Brian continued.

"Slow down, what is a diary doing in our basement?" I needed to know more but just couldn't cause I was still tired. "It belongs to grandpa, it had his name written on it" He tried to make it clear.

"look, I will look for it later, I promise... "

I promised him, but someone interrupted.

" Erin, Brian, please come" It sounded like mom's voice. We both walked a little distance and reached the sitting room.

"Erin dear, you will have to be attending Brian's school from now on, me and your mom are tired of searching" Dad broke the news to me. Fortunately I was the only one shocked cause Brian didn't much bother.

I couldn't argue because it was my fault and even though I could argue, my parents didn't seem happy at all. When I looked back to check Brian facial mood, he was gone. I went upstairs to look for him but couldn't find him, I just heard Kyle washing his car outside and listening to a very familiar music which I was not happy about. Cause it sounded like the music in my dream which wordings were not clear enough. I felt like, poor Kyle. Then he suddenly looked up and the curtain shot. "As the doctor said, I need to go to sleep"

That were the only thing to calm me down.

The next morning I was dressed up and ready to impress my new classmates, after having breakfast I wondered why dad was still waiting. "Come on dad, let's go already" I said relying on a suitable response. "I am waiting for your brother, Brian" Dad responded but that wasn't suitable at all. Brian never waited for me, so we could go to school together.

He finally came out wearing some really strange cloth.  He was dressed old fashioned and looked like he was in the 90s. I didn't want to bother asking while he waited cause the answer was clear. "What with the dress" I said and made a giggle.

"What do you mean, he looks great" I could tell mom was lying, when she let out a wide fake smile. "I don't usually where this stuff? Brian asked. I found out that I needed to cover his back, I thought he was in trouble." Mom it may be history practical". I said. No reply not even Brian.

Me and Brian rushed into the car and started the car trip. Brian school was taking so long to arrive in and it has been up to an hour already, this must be why he always left the house before me. After some few minutes of silence.

We finally arrived at the school as I saw the big sign that says "Brievlige High" This was one of the biggest schools around the city. Mom and dad couldn't really afford it expenses, but he was on scholarship. "Okay come on guys you are running late" Dad said looking at us through the mirror.

I waited for Brian to open the door and make the lead but he just stared at me, when he realized I was watching him, he quickly decided to open the door and I gotta help. "It locked" I said but that didn't help at all.

I avoided it by pressing a small button beside my door handle to unlock the door, and he did same immediately. Dad drove off immediately we came out. I finally steped into the school.

But Brian stood like me, confused. "Aren't you going to show me round?"  I asked.

"I got class" he replied. "Well isn't that your class" I pointed to a direction. "How do you know? You just got here"  he said sharply.

And I replied "through that sign". He quickly entered and I could hear every one screaming his name. He must be really popular, I thought.

"come in your right in time for class" a voice said and I turned back to find a young girl of my age walking towards me. "Hi am Mika Miles, you must be the new girl, let me take you to class"  she said all this words fast and started to drag me. I never wanted to talk or relate with her because of the way she looked, but I had to now that I noticed, I was in the class.

"Thanks Mika, have your seat I will take it from here" A well dressed young lady, said and continued "Please introduce yourself"

Those three words she said was so frustrating, it was like a living nightmare.

"I............. School here" as I made that sentence, everyone burst into laughter. I just walked pass and took a sit beside a boy at the back of Mika, who was the only one that didn't make fun of me. "What are you? A comedian or something" The boy asked looking very serious and upset about something.

He had a direct tattoo with my grandpa face around his arm, this got me terrified.

But as I looked again his mouth changed position and kept doing it, the only word I could confirm was diary.
